If your business employs at least one employee, regardless of their means of compensation, you must display workplace postings.
Salaried employees in North Carolina can work up to 40 hours in one standard workweek. Any hours worked beyond 40 is compensated at 1.5 times. Employers who disregard overtime compensation may face penalties for violations.
Penalty for Violation Suppose an employer violates the minimum wage, overtime, or wage payment provisions set by North Carolina. In that case, they are responsible for paying the affected employee or employees the unpaid wages, overtime, along with interest as determined by the court.
You can either file a wage claim with the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (the Labor Commissioner's Office), or bring an action in court against your former employer to recover the wages if they are still due you, and to claim the waiting time penalty.
